Abstract
A cellular communications system is described in which a mobile cellular device is configured to return status data to the network when instructed to obtain cell measurements. When used, the status data may indicate that measurements are in hand and that further measurement reports may or will follow. The status data may also indicate if the reporting interval and/or the measurement gaps defined by the network are suitable to make the measurements given the current status of the mobile device. A network node is also disclosed that can receive the measurement reports and interpret the status data to decide to wait for further measurement results or to issue a new reporting interval or a new cell list or arrange a new configuration of idle gaps in which cell measurements may be made.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to cellular communication apparatus.Invention is specifically related to the cellular device operated according to ETSI and 3GPP standard (such as, Long Term Evolution (LTE) (being called evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (the E-UTRAN)) standard of GSM standard, UTRAN standard and UTRAN).
Background technology
There is many different cellular telephony standards, such as, GSM, UMTS, LTE, they define the different operating frequency and the agreement that allow subscriber equipment (UE) (such as, mobile phone) to establish communication via telephone network and other users.Many UE can utilize the multiple standards in these various criterions to operate, and, be usually connected with the network node providing optimum signal intensity with optimal service level.But along with UE moves, its handover of having to (handover) is to the different network node that may utilize different technical operations.Such as, first UE can be connected with LTE network node, and, the coverage of this node extensible and move to the cell coverage area of UMTS network node.Therefore this handover is called as " between RAT (radio access technologies) " handover, because UE changes RAT during handover.According to current 3GPP standard, determine when UE should be handed over to the responsibility that another network node is network node.Network node is made this based on UE for the measurement that some candidate neighbor cell (being defined within next-door neighbour's cell list) that network node is supplied to UE provide and is determined.
The increase (that is, three kinds or more kind) of the quantity of the different technologies supported along with single phone, measuring between management RAT of task becomes more complicated.Current principle is that network knows anything (it knows the theoretical duty of UE and enough detailed current state).Therefore, network should (according to this technology directly or indirectly) manage traffic gap (gap) be measured to allow UE to make between RAT.In addition, network supposition UE can by planned action and in certain hour frame expected results.
Therefore, when network requirement UE make measure between RAT time, the measurement that its definable will do also sets up periodic report.Responsively, UE makes and measures and then send measurement report in due course during managed gap.It can:
● report that some is measured;
In this case, if report is incomplete (that is, some community is also not measured), then network can suppose that more measurements will arrive.
● do not report measurement;
In this case, network can suppose that UE has completed its all measurement (that is, any community missed is all sightless to UE in report).
But inventor has realized that these supposition that network makes are problematic and may are wrong, and, attempt to realize may frittering away energy to the real-time status of UE and the absolute grasp of ability.For example, report interval specifies that may be inappropriate concerning the practical capacity of UE and the situation of current RAT, and, UE may cannot do any measurement at all, this means that measurement is completely (that is, definitely, it can not use any adjacent cell).The report interval that this problem is relatively grown by net definitions solves, but this is poor efficiency.
Summary of the invention
According to an aspect, preferred embodiment provides the Signal transmissions of new measurement report, its allow UE clearly indicate whether to expect more measurement (such as, continuing mark) or network provision whether inappropriate.In this way, network in any case all without the need to making supposition, and, signal measurement at UE and do not complete but will no longer report in the situation of any measurement, network can be inferred subsequently at least about this particular UE, and gap scheduling strategy or the measurement interval defined need adjustment.
Provide a kind of cellular communication system, wherein, mobile cellular equipment is configured to when being instructed to, when obtaining cell measurement, status data is returned to network.When status data is used (may not status data be needed, such as, if measure can as be done with asking and report), this status data can indicate and be measured, and, further measurement report can maybe will arrive.State information also can indicate under the current state of mobile device, and whether the report interval defined by network and/or measurement clearance are suitable for making measurement.Additionally provide network node, this network node can receive measurement report and explain status data, to determine the measurement result of products for further, or issues new report interval or new cell list, or arranges the idle gap configuration of the new cell measurement made.
According to an aspect, the invention provides a kind of cellular communication apparatus, comprising: for receiving the device measured and comprise the control command of neighbor cell list; For determining the device carrying out the well-formedness measuring network provision based on the current state of cellular communication apparatus; And for generating the device of measurement report, this measurement report comprises the measuring state data of the well-formedness that the state of the measurement that instruction is asked or indication network specify.
First measurement report can comprise cell measurement and status data.But report can be sent out, if particularly status data order report interval is unsuitable for this equipment before the first measuring machine meeting defined by report interval.
The status data reported can comprise binary flags or enumerated value, and whether whether its instruction allly all can have been reported by the community of reporting and can maybe will more multiple cell had to be reported at follow-up report chance place.But status data can comprise the more cell measurement of instruction can make operation poor efficiency data by report by the measurement clearance of network defined.
Status data can comprise the data that the first report time that whether indicating equipment define by report interval performs asked measurement, or whether instruction measurement clearance is too short and/or too close to other reserved resources.
Status data can comprise the data of the time for completing measurement estimated by instruction, or indicates the data of the minimum measurement clearance configuration needed for enable efficient measurement.
According to another aspect, the invention provides a kind of can carrying out and operate the network communication node to communicate with cellular communication apparatus, this network communication node comprises: for exporting the device comprising the measurement control order of the first neighbor cell list to cellular communication apparatus; For receiving the device of the measurement report from cellular communication apparatus, measurement report comprises the state of the measurement that instruction is asked or pointer to the measuring state data of the well-formedness of the network provision measured; And for determining whether the determining device waited for one or more further measurement report or determine new network provision according to status data.
If status data indicating cell is measured and can or be reported at follow-up report chance place, then determining device is determined to wait for one or more further measurement report.But, if status data comprises and indicates more multiple cell to be reported but measurement clearance makes to operate the data of poor efficiency or instruction measurement clearance is too short and/or too close to the data of other reserved resources, then determining device can carry out operating to determine the new measurement clearance pattern for cellular device.
If status data comprises the data of the minimum measurement clearance of instruction needed for enable efficient measurement, then network node can determine whether the measurement clearance that definable is different.Measurement clearance can be signaled to cellular device clearly, or it can pass through defined free time by network node and impliedly be specified.
In response to receiving the measurement report (indicated in the status data of Tathagata cellular autofluorescence equipment) being known as last, network node determines whether to generate the new measuring command with new cell list, or whether is handed over to another community.
The present invention is mainly used in when UE is supported in the handover between two or more access technologies (RAT).The present invention is applicable to after network to obtain measurements of neighboring cells (measurements of neighboring cells can be about and when reporting the result specified by the community of reporting) from UE, from a kind of handover of or any one access technology control by network time.Therefore, the present invention is applicable to GSM and its derivation, UMTS and its derivation and LTE and its derivation etc.In certain embodiments, more value is defined, and makes UE provide more information by sky report or even non-NULL report (any measurement result of meaning with or without).Such as:
● the mark whether pointer is suitable to the network provision of the measurement between RAT can be provided.Obviously, in non-NULL report, do not need this mark, because regulation is clearly suitable.But in sky report, negative value can be used to hint UE needs diverse clearance mode to provide any measurement.Still exist fuzzy in this case because sky report on the occasion of being explained in two ways: a) UE not by this report chance management any complete measurement, but, because clearance mode is thought acceptable by UE, so finally can expect that non-NULL is reported, although comparatively slow; Or b) UE nothing can be reported really.
● instruction can be provided to measure the mark whether completed.That is, whether network should be expected more, instead of scheduling strategy is met the requirements.In non-NULL report, this mark is clearly: it signals the end (further report is by relevant to the community of reporting) of measuring period, even if not all requested community can be measured.In sky report, can report on the occasion of signaling nothing, but negative value can be explained in two ways: a) report is further measured the most at last; Or b) UE cannot utilize current clearance mode.
● the mark with three kinds of states (solving above-mentioned fuzzy) can be provided: " completing all measurements " (report can empty or can not be empty); " expect more measure " (report can empty or can not be empty); And " different clearance mode please be provided " (in logic, this report should be sky in logic).
Alternatively, measured the meaning suitable with clearance mode to report via independently indicating.
In a further embodiment, except above option, can provide further value, the instruction of this value is to also needing how many more report chance to complete the estimation of current measuring period, and it comprises the value that instruction UE is unable to estimate the end of current measurement cycle.
In one embodiment, the value " completing all measurements " or another value also can be used to refer to it by UE and determine no longer to measure any other community.
Although this measurement report is implemented usually based on the cycle, this concept can be extended to aperiodicity report.Such as, UE can determine to report the segment set measured, and, indicate it to be intended to transmission more.Then, UE can send other results by the right times outside normal periodic report interval, and network will wait for that next is reported.
Present invention also offers corresponding method and computer executable instructions product, computer executable instructions product comprises the computer executable instructions for causing programmable computation device to be configured to mobile device as above or network node described above.This product can comprise computer-readable medium or the signal of carrying instruction.
Of the present invention these become obvious by from following in the detailed description of embodiment with other aspects various, and these embodiments are described with reference to accompanying drawing by means of only example.

Memory 27 also stores various data, comprises adjacent cell data 34 and mobile phone (MT) capacity data 35.Reporting modules 33 utilizes adjacent cell data 34 to identify the community that will obtain measurement to mobile phone 3.Reporting modules 33 utilize MT capacity data 35 suitable report interval that calculation expectation mobile phone 3 provides measurement report.
(mobile phone)
The primary clustering of the mobile phone 3 shown in Fig. 3 schematically shows in FIG.As shown, mobile phone 3 comprises transmission circuit 71, and this transmission circuit can operate and send signal and from radio access network 5 Received signal strength via one or more antenna 73 to radio access network 5.As shown, mobile phone 3 also comprises controller 75, and this controller controls the operation of mobile phone 3 and is connected to transmission circuit 71, loud speaker 77, microphone 79, display 81 and keypad 83.Controller 75 operates according to the software module be stored in memory 85.As shown, these software modules comprise operating system 87, measurement module 89 and reporting modules 91 etc.In response to the order received from base station 5-1, reporting modules 91 can operate make measurement module 89 obtain desired measurement and measurement is sent to radio access network 5.Memory 85 also stores the neighbor cell list 93 received from radio access network 5.Measurement module 89 utilizes neighbor cell list 93 to identify the community that will obtain measurement, and one or more report is sent to radio access network 5 to report acquired measurement by reporting modules 91.As will be described in more detail, in this embodiment, comprising module 91 and also determine feedback information, and feedback information is sent to radio access network 5, making correct conclusion to help radio access network 5 when explaining the measurement report received from mobile phone 3.
In the above description, conveniently understand, both base station 5-1 and mobile phone 3 are described to have various discrete software module.Although these software modules are provided to can be used for some application in this manner, such as, existing system is modified to implement situation of the present invention, but in other application, such as, from just contemplate these creationary features and in designed system, the function of these modules performs by individual module, or they can be built in overall operating system or code, therefore, these modules may not be characterized as discrete entity.
Now by illustrating the operation of the present embodiment to the discussion with reference to the sample scenario given by timing diagram shown in the diagram.As shown, in step s1, when base station 5-1 to mobile phone 3 send require mobile phone 3 one or more specified report time (being specified by report interval reporting_interval) to the measurement control order of its report for the measurement of adjacent cell (specifying ordering in nc_list) time, process starts.The capacity data 35 that base station 5-1 stores for mobile phone 3 based on it determines report interval, and determines to be included in the community in neighbor cell list based on the adjacent cell data 34 that it stores.In response to receiving this order, mobile phone 3 record report interval, and described adjacent cell is stored as current cell list 93.In this example, as as shown in step s3, this order be moved phone 3 receive time, phone 3 is busy (such as, base station 5-1 may provide the user's report interval of multicast broadcast multimedia service (MBMS) resource selected of folk prescription being in close proximity to mobile phone 3, therefore, because frequency error factor postpones, it can not utilize report interval completely), therefore, it cannot obtain all desired measurement and by the first report chance, they is reported to base station 5-1.Therefore, in this diagram, in step s5, but mobile phone 3 sends at the first report chance place the report not having to measure have the mark that instruction can have " more " to report subsequently.In step s7, base station 5-1 identifies that " more " be included in report indicate and are interpreted as meaning measurement and can be sent out.Therefore, base station 5-1 determines to do nothing and carried out waiting for until Next Report chance before make further decision for this mobile phone 3.In step s9 place, at next report chance place, measurement that mobile phone 3 has (but not being whole) will be reported and therefore be ready for sending to comprise available cell measurement and indicate and still have more measurements can report another measurement report that " more " indicate.
In step s11 place, base station 5-1 receives the second measurement report and stores wherein comprised measurement.Base station 5-1 again identifies and explains that " more " indicate, and, before make further decision for this mobile phone 3, again wait for until next report chance.In step s13, mobile phone 3 sends final measurement report to base station 5-1.Mobile phone 3 is by indicating be included in together with final measurement that this report to be designated from received order in report be report about last of received order by " completing ".If (order is the request for periodic report, then should " finally " report may not in fact being last, be only current period last.) in step s15, base station 5-1 stores this and finally measures, and this " is completed " mark and be interpreted as meaning mobile phone 3 and complete (in current period) and send measurement report for community listed in the neighbor cell list sent by base station in step s1.Then, the measurement that base station 5-1 process stores, and, determine whether to wait for another measuring period; Or, whether should send new cell list to mobile phone 3; Or, whether should perform handover, if so, to which Target cell handover.
Therefore, above embodiment allows mobile phone 3 at measurement report chance place together with any measurement (it can be incomplete for measuring) or not having to provide some about the feedback of its measuring state when measuring.
(advantage of embodiment)
The advantage of embodiment comprises:
1. feedback should contribute to network and makes optimal decision, particularly when measurement shows as not exclusively or disappearance time.Depend on feedback, for network, wait for that next measurement report chance may be best, or, for network, provide one group of new community to consider, or extend measurement clearance, or differently arrange that gap etc. may be best.
2. utilize the feedback information proposed, network can be avoided having to Corpus--based Method analysis to make supposition, such as " when mobile phone 3 does not notify measurement result at once, this often means that it cannot detect proposed community " or some other heuristics of network execution.
3. for the mobile phone utilizing this feedback mechanism, network can be selected " risk ": do not apply conservative nargin when determining reporting period because network can notify to present networks immediately at longer reporting period for mobile phone 3 can be very self-confident needed for it.
4., except handoff time may reduce, the frequency of handover failure (although or success service quality decline) should be reduced, because candidate cell is assessed better and selected better thus.
Therefore, the present embodiment needs to make change to existing standard.Particularly, in order to realize above embodiment, existing standard must be suitable for allowing mobile phone 3 to provide feedback information to network.In addition, standard must be suitable for allowing base station 5-1 (depend on involved RAT, or can be other network nodes) accept when determining the measurement of whether products for further or issuing new cell list and use feedback information.
(amendment and replacement)
Be described above detailed embodiment.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that and can make multiple amendment and replacement to above embodiment, still benefit from the embodiment that this place adopts simultaneously.By illustrating, a part in these substitutions and modifications now only will be described.
The feedback information that mobile phone can return has certain limit.Ideally, feed back (such as, the judicious combination of the total Options of the following stated) widely and permission network is made best decision.But relevant standards bodies may tend to more basic feedback, to reduce involved overhead bit.Such as, whether possible feedback can be restricted to instruction under current condition, measure plain-denotation; Or, instruction mobile phone think the whether complete plain-denotation of measurement report (otherwise, determine that the report of products for further will be waste, in any case because the community of not reporting arbitrarily be not cannot detect be exactly definitely than which reported poorer); Or, certainly, can be the combination of these marks.Mobile phone 3 also can describe (qualify) its any problem had for the available resources for measuring (such as: measurement clearance is too short, or measurement clearance is too close to reserved resource (such as, MBMS " time slot ")).Standards bodies can accept untapped feedback code in the future.Mobile phone 3 also can return the estimation (as given multiple report chance) to the time needed for the measurement completed under the present conditions when front-wheel.Also can there is the complete value of order report (such as, zero more multimachine meeting), and, the value (this can be equal to for the inappropriate instruction of measurement clearance) meaning and never report can be there is.All these options are not all mutually repel, certainly, although some mutually repels.
Measurement in GSM and UMTS is very flexibly.Add new optional information element (IE) to have no problem.Same flexibility will be present in follow-up standard, but in this case, adding IE may have a little problem.The example of the IE that this proposal is advised by as defined belowOther IE defines by the field of combination from different example.Arbitrary fields can be compulsory or optional.Decision for this is that standards bodies considered.
Rational option is present in single optional IE, and this single optional IE comprises from the very little set of fields selected by following given those.Note, some combination of following example may be redundancy and should do not selected in a solution.
[table 1]
Measure may combining of feedback IE
These fields also can be combined into enumeration type (but not binary flags), as long as different value mutually repels.The actual numerical value used is arbitrary, and only need be determined by standard.
Finally, measuring feedback IE also can be the unique IE in measurement report, or is at least unique optional IE.In this case, it is sent out for feedback object completely, and, need not send behind specified interval.Such as, if mobile phone 3 can determine that measurement clearance is inappropriate, then it can send feedback immediately, and does not wait for the first report chance.
The signaling transmission of feeding back for the ability of enhancing mobile phone is useful by using this to measure to allow mobile phone 3 to indicate it to network.
In above embodiment, base stations being in charge is issued measuring command and is determined handover.As understood by those skilled in the art, in other radio access technologies, this function can be performed by some other network node.
In above embodiment, describe multiple software module.As understood by those skilled in the art, software module can with compiling or the form that do not compile provide, and can be used as signal and be provided to core net, radio access network or mobile phone by computer network or recording medium.In addition, one or more special hardware circuit can be utilized perform by the function performed by the partial software in all these softwares or these software.But the use of software module is preferred, because it contributes to upgrading radio access network 5 and mobile phone 3, thus to upgrade their function.
In above embodiment, provide the mobile phone communicated with multiple radio access network.As understood by those skilled in the art, invention is applicable to the subscriber equipment (UE) of other types, such as, and laptop computer, personal digital assistant or other hand-portable computers equipment.
In the embodiment above, each radio access network is connected to the core net 7 of himself.As understood by those skilled in the art, community can be a part for the network of communion system framework, in such network, several core net 7 utilizing same cells can be there are, maybe can there are (different RAT's) several communities connecting from identical core net to carry out operating.
